Halo Effect (Cross Over) Main Thread

"Guess there is something to learn." Mee said taking off her helmet. "But i'm not as overwhelmed as you may think. I got the same looks i'm getting now from my own kind and the humans when i entered service. First and only female Sangheili to serve in the military." she said.

"Now what would you like to know?"

 

[Derek_the_Dodo]

Athame:

"Everything, how did you get here? Where is your home planet? How is it possible to achieve FTL without mass effect relays? Why is it that you seem so much in advance of us in some fields, yet so far behind in others? Why do females of your species not enlist in the military? How did you, yourself come to enlist?"

Athame stopped herself in the middle of her excitement. The last thing Mee needed was to spend the next 5 hours talking about the inner workings of her universe when she had no frame of reference knowing so little about this one.

"Apologies, I'm sure your ship's VI can answer all of those questions. All we really need is to log your medical details, also to make sure that you're acclimatising to the citadel of course. It shouldn't take long, shall we begin?"

 

[mcpop9]

"How about i tell you about my life, it should be enough to satisfy allot of your questions." Mee said. "Would you like me to take off my armor? or can most of this be done with it on, its indifferent to me if i need to take it off." she asked.

Atleast she isn't judging me like most of my species, maybe this new pace isn't so bad... she though.

JASTIS-015

Jastis looked at Turian who had walked up to him and introduced himself as Lt. Quintus Arctus. ?I assume like the Quarian?s here that you wish to know more about me??

 

[Redryhno]

Crown had split her squad into two teams when Captain Nassa and Jastius had split up. She sent Sgt. Meeks and Rookie Gaffer with the Spartan. The kid needed to get over his excitement over seeing the Spartan and the rest of this "Citadel", and Meeks was experienced enough to keep an eye on both the kid and the populace if they tried anything.

She kept Chagerben mostly to keep her from gallivanting off with one of these aliens, Leppy wanted to get his hands on one of their computers, and she wanted to make sure he didn't get himself in too much trouble. Soon enough, Leppy had gotten himself into their systems, and began browsing their unsecured files, their tech,recent history, what species lived here, the major political powers, and the major planets.

"Good news, Lt. Earth still exists here, beyond that, I don't recognize anything here."

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Gaffer stood in front of the Spartan when the Turian came calling,"Stop ri-right there, if you want to talk to Jastius, tell me what you want first."

Meeks quickly put a hand on his shoulder, with a chuckle to get his attention,"Kid, if these guys wanted the Spartan dead, they'd have killed him alot earlier than this.What'd you want...whatever the hell you are."

 

[Bravo 21]

Quintus helt up his empty hands to the young soldier. "Don't worry, I'm friendly. I was just wondering about the Spartan." Turning to the Jastis he added "I've never seen any human like you before, between that and you ship,you've got me hoping that you could enlighten me."

Athame:

"It may help if you take it off." Athame said tapping on her omnitool. "Our scanners haven't encountered anything like your armour before and it may contribute to anomalies in the medical results. Would you mind setting up the scanner Daniel?"

Daniel had been standing there dumbfounded throughout the entire conversation staring wide eyed at Mee's mouth. "Of course, Athame." he replied meekly, burying himself in setting up a nearby machine. Athame sighed, he was supposed to be in charge of this operation and she was supposed to be an adviser and observer, not the other way around. She couldn't really blame him, he was only human.

She never really understood that human saying. She originally thought it was a racial slur thought up by the turians, but apparently it's a way of showing forgiveness.

"The scan may take a while Mee, plenty of time for you to tell us more about your life, and as long as you're comfortable with it could you please remove your armour and leave it on the bench." Athame gestured.

 

[mcpop9]

Mee nodded. it took a bit of effort to remove the armor, accounting for the female shape. But when she was done, she was in the bodysuit under the armor. She placed it on the bench, careful not to scratch it. "You are much more accepting of me than much of my own race, most of everyone here is. Thank you."

Alan had spent most of the last few hours wandering around the Citadel's more ordinary wards, trying to find a decent up of tea. He had been unsuccessful so far. As he trundled around, he watched all the strange aliens walking passed. They had weirded him out at first, but by now he had started to get used to them.

After discovering that the more mainstream citadel shops didn't stock English Breakfast tea, he had decided to venture into the less reputable sections of the Citadel.

It can't be too bad.... right?

As he walked down a dark and dirty back-street, Batarians started to appear out of the woodwork, or metalwork, he began to think this was a very bad idea.

 

[Redryhno]

Noticing that the Engineer that had gotten on board the "Citadel" with the rest of her squad, Sierra called him over her radio she had in her belt.

"Alan, where are you, and why the hell did you go off by yourself?"

 

[mcpop9]

Luna had helped out all she could with the captain of the unsc vessel. She had heard abut the marine that had gone off on his own and began tailing him around. She saw him get into the worse sections of the citadel. She wanted to see how he would respond to the Batarians. Of-course, the commando wouldn't let anything happen to the human, but it would be nice to see his social skills.

 

[vrbtny]

The Small comm's unit strapped to Alan's chest by his Utility belt buzzed happily, and the voice of Sierra chirped through. She listened to her question, as he slowly eyed the Batarians who were grouping around him. Slowly encircling him and leaving him nowhere to run.

"Err, yeah. I wanted a good cup of tea. None of those fancy bars had a proper cup of English Breakfast. So i went looking for some. Might have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle," Alan said, as the Batarians closed in on him. There eyes glinting at all the valuable military gear that Alan was wearing.

Shame he didn't have a gun.

The lead Batarian had a enormous pistol in his fist, and Alan had a distinct feeling that he was over-compensating for something. The four thugs that accompanied him were all wielding heavy pipes.

The Batarian cocked the pistol and pointed it at Alan's chest. "We'll be taking your stuff now. Everything, 'cept your underwear."

SSG Murphy

Murphy had just started on some liquor that was somehow blue. After a few drinks, he decided that it tasted most like strawberries that had been watered with vodka - and he loved it. His comm pack buzzed, and Murphy heard an exchange between another Marine and a very worried-sounding engineer. He took some money out of his wallet and handed it to the bartender.

"Where's the bad part of town?" He asked the bartender. The bartender replied with mumbled grunts that the seedier side of the Citadel was only half a dozen block away. Murphy stood up from the stool and wobbled a bit as he did so.

The good news is, you're only a little drunk. He told himself as he scanned the room for a member of his squad who wasn't hammed beyond critical thinking. There were none, as they all had close to an hour's headstart on him. Murphy snatched the bottle of liquor from the bar and keyed his comm pack as he headed for the exit,

"Alan, Murphy. Hit your emergency beacon, I am on route to your location, over."

As Murphy ran the alcohol in his system seemed to balance out. He keyed his comm pack again as he ran,

"Mee, this is Sergeant Murphy. I don't know if you're on comms, but if you are, start heading towards the beacon that's about to go up. Over."

He really hoped she heard him, he had a bad feeling about this. Murphy drew a folding knife from his pocket and flipped it open, running with a blade in one hand and a drink in the other, praying he got there in time.

 

[Redryhno]

Sierra tapped Chagerben's shoulder,"come on, girl, we've got an engineer to find. You come along too, Leppy. I don't want you gettin' in trouble too."

They wandered around before getting a lock on Murphy's location.

This damn station's got our systems on the fritz. Why the hell couldn't we pop into a universe with fuzzy bunnies and eating snowcones all the time? Because it'd be boring as hell is why.

After getting her tracker adjusted to the other signals going back and forth, she saw a human with an omni-tool going through some kind of music recordings.

Gotta get me one of those, this damn thing's too bulky.

They began running and arrived behind the Tentacle Head that had greeted them when they arrived on the station, right in the middle of Alan throwing punches.

 

[alandavidson]

SSG Murphy

Murphy arrived on the scene from behind and saw a human trying to fight tentacle-headed creatures. He saw two other humans on the other side of the fray.

That must be our engineer Murphy thought to himself.

He took a swig of liquor and set the bottle down - this was good stuff, he didn't want to lose it in a fight. Murphy walked to the center of the street and let out a primal scream.

As the Batarians turned to face him, Murphy smiled.

"Good evening, gentlemen. I'm here to wreck your day."

The Batarians started for him, bloodlust in their eyes.

Murphy made sure his grip on his knife was steady.

Here goes nothing. He thought to himself as they approached.

 

[Derek_the_Dodo]

Athame:

"How very kind of you Mee, I..."

A voice from Mee's armour interupted her.

"Mee, this is Sergeant Murphy. I don't know if you're on comms, but if you are, start heading towards the beacon that's about to go up. Over."

The beacon seemed to be pointing at a shady part of zakera ward.

"We can do the medical later, right now we need to find out why this distress beacon has been activated. Daniel, we need you car." said Athame starting up her customary biotic field again and sucking a few medigel packs as well as Daniels keys into it.

"Let's go Mee!"

 

[mcpop9]

Luna saw the rest of the humans arriving and decided it would be best not to have a full scale military conflict going on. The Biotic commando moved to higher ground before jumping down inbetween the two groups."I don't want a full on military fight here. If both sides leave and back down, i'll consider this never happened." She said.

Mee nodded but paused when Luna's voice came though. "Wait... isn't that luna? The commando assigned to my ship?" she said putting on her gauntlets just in case.

JASTIS-015

?Then let us sit down.? He looked around and saw a table, and headed over to it. He tested it out to see if it could handle his weight and he was surprised when it did. Sitting down the Quarian?s and Turian sat down. Thinking about it, there was no reason to hide anything.

He breathed in and then out. ?This may be hard to believe me, but stick with me. I am not from this dimension. Where I come from, Asari, Quarian?s, Turian?s, and all of your races, don?t exist. Neither do the Protheans I have heard about. Instead Humanity had developed all of the technology you have own its own, and when we finally made contact with aliens in 2525, it wasn?t pretty. For the next 27 years, Humanity fought against the Covenant, a collective of alien species under a banner of a false religion. They were told that humanity was heretics, and that they must be eliminated. During this war, hundreds of Human Colonies were glassed, billions of humans, soldiers and civilians perished?You all keeping up??

The Quarian?s didn?t know how to respond, this was all? So different than what they had expected.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Kenneth had wandered around the ward from the bar. He wasn't really in the mood to deal with the getting back to his apartment. Walking around, he noticed the man that approached him at the bar being surrounded by Batarians.

Calmly, Kenneth walked up behind the group and said. "I hope you boys aren't going to do something rash..."

Kenneth already started gathering dark energy for a shock nova if necessary....

 

[Bravo 21]

Quintus paused for a moment as he took in the mass of information that had been presented to him. "Yes... that's impressive. If you want, I can tell you something of the universe here, but if you would prefer to continue, I'm most intrigued."
